Info

Outside the San Francisco area, suburban Cupertino in the San Jose area has emerged the major Taiwanese cultural and retail center in the Bay Area, especially with a major shopping center titled Cupertino Village anchored by the supermarket chain 99 Ranch Market. A similar, but larger shopping center by the name of Milpitas Square, also featuring 99 Ranch Market, can be found in Milpitas, adjacent to the northeast corner of San Jose. These plazas contain variety of regional Chinese cuisine and other varied Asian cuisine restaurants (namely Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and so on), book stores, boba tea shops, bakeries, and upscale boutiques. A smaller Chinese commercial district lines Castro Street in the suburb of Mountain View where immigrant businesses now occupy once abandoned 1950s-era downtown storefronts. (Source: San Francisco Chronicle) Other suburban communities in the San Francisco Bay Area with a large Chinese presence include Foster City and Daly City (also home to a large Filipino population) in San Mateo County and Fremont in Alameda County. All of these cities have Chinese themed shopping centers anchored by 99 Ranch Market. In addition, the Warm Springs district of Fremont includes a shopping center known as "Little Taipei" anchored by Lion Supermarket. More Asian-oriented strip malls can be found in the San Francisco and Oakland working-class suburbs of Richmond, California ('Pacific East Mall anchored by 99 Ranch Market) and San Pablo (San Pablo Marketplace anchored by Shun Fat Supermarket).

San Francisco Chinatown Events San Francisco Chinatown Visitors Guide Crocker-Amazon, San Francisco, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Crocker-Amazon is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California bordering the Excelsior District. Crocker-Amazon covers the area south of Mission Street and Geneva Avenue, extending towards Daly City. The neighborhood is adjacent to Crocker-Amazon Park, named after the Charles Crocker land holdings that once made up the area, and Amazon Street in the Excelsior. The Crocker-Amazon neighborhood is slightly more affluent than the Excelsior, but retains much of the same racial diversity, including a large Filipino community. Even many San Franciscans are unaware of its existence, leading to more reasonable house prices than in other, more well-known areas of San Francisco. There is a certain suburban feel to this commuter neighborhood, although the houses are as tightly packed together as those in other areas of San Francisco. The neighborhood benefits from some of the best weather in the city; the late afternoon fog breaks over the Excelsior, meaning the Crocker-Amazon area has more sun than most other areas of San Francisco. There are outstanding views towards the top of the neighborhood; downtown San Francisco can be seen in the gap between McLaren Park and Twin Peaks (San Francisco).
